Travelling with a dog is one of the best things that you can do, when your travel schedule allows for it. Not only will you be happier on your travels and form incredible memories with your pet, but it can also save you a ton of money and hassle by eliminating the need to find dog care. Our journeys around the UK with Giorgio are responsible for some of our fondest travel memories, and we actually find ourselves planning dog-friendly travel more and more because we have such a great time exploring with him.

As glorious as we make dog-friendly travel seem, traveling with a dog is not as easy as get up and go. There is a lot of preparation that goes into travelling with a dog, such as finding dog-friendly accommodation and identifying dog-friendly places that you can stop. Additionally, it’s not so easy to pack up everything dog related that you own and throw it in the car, so having travel-specific pet accessories can make your dog-friendly travel much more stress-free.

It’s pretty much impossible to visit Zermatt, Switzerland without taking (many) photos of the Matterhorn. The gorgeous mountain towers over the entire village and is essentially an attraction itself, so it’s not surprising that it’s a popular subject for photos. But where should you go to get the best photos of the Matterhorn? We teamed up with a couple of other bloggers to come up with a totally instaworthy list!

At the beginning of the year, I started laying out all of our travel plans for 2018. However, as I sat there thinking about what I really wanted to do, I realized that I didn’t have a list of items that could be accomplished in one year. Instead, I was thinking about the big ticket trips I wanted to do. The ones that involve saving, or planning, or a bit of both. That’s part of the reason why we only have a few finalized plans for 2018; we’ve been too busy planning for the (slightly) longer term. So, instead of having some epic list of our upcoming 2018 travels, I’ve created this short-term couples travel bucket list.

If you’re a couple that is struggling with travel inspiration at the moment, or you can’t figure out exactly what you want to do for your week off work this summer, take a look at these 7 trips. Even better, challenge yourself to tick off all 7 in the next 3 years – that’s our goal!

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. So, surely, you’ve been thinking about us non-stop recently, right? Oh – is that not how it works? Hmmm…in that case, maybe we won’t take a 4 month break from blogging next time!

But the good news is we’re back. And better than before! Not really – nothing has changed. But we are back and ready to jump back into sharing our travels. Or at least dip our toes in the water before putting in one leg, and then the next, and then slowly dipping our bodies in. We have so much to share with you guys!

Today marks our one year anniversary of travelling as a married couple. Yes, that’s right, this crazy intimate registry office wedding happened one year ago today! To celebrate the conclusion of our first year of marriage, we are dedicating this post to what we do best – part-time couples travel. One of the major downsides of part-time travel is that it almost always has to be done on the weekends and, therefore, relatively close to home. Lucky for us, Europe is right on our doorstep and there is no shortage of destinations for romantic weekend getaways in Europe. So, if we are celebrating an anniversary or birthday (or just in the mood for a romantic getaway), there are so many places to choose from for our romantic weekend getaway.

Hey There!

We're sports fanatics and wine-o-holics who seek a bit of luxury on a bit of a budget. We love people and places and food. But, above all, we're a couple. A pair. It's the two of us against the world!

With full-time jobs and a desire to see as much of the world as possible, we've learned how to get the most out of a destination in a short period of time. It's possible to fully immerse yourself, even if you just have a weekend, and we'd like to show you how to do so!

Join us as we continue to explore the UK & Europe (and sometimes beyond) while juggling our full-time responsibilities.
